Wikipedia:Questionable Cabal/Questionable Article Award

There is no Cabal

The Questionable Article Award was an award given to the most questionable of articles by the Questionable Cabal. The award was not an article quality award like the Good Articles Award or Featured Articles star.

The award is discontinued as of last year.

What we meant by "Questionable" is Unusual, Disturbing, or otherwise eyebrow-raising. They could be articles that are meta-questionable, as in the history of the article itself is Unusual, Disturbing, or otherwise, or, the article's content could also be a candidate for its Questionably. But this definition is fluid, and if you find something plain and simple questionable, nominate it with a good argument as to why you feel that way.

The award was awarded to an article through the nomination process, detailed below.

Nominations

edit

Every week, a page would've been created to vote on the nominations of last week, and to nominate articles for voting next week. The nomination with the most votes would've been awarded the Questionable Article Award.
